Discover the Enchanting Howard Creek Ranch: Where Nature, Art, and History Intertwine

Nestled in the Heart of Northern California's Iconic Coastline

Howard Creek Ranch is a truly unique and captivating destination, nestled on the secluded northern Mendocino coast of California. Originally a homestead from the late 1800s, this enchanting property has been lovingly curated and transformed over the past 40 years by its passionate owners, Sally and Sonny Grigg.

As you step onto the grounds, you'll be swept up in the wonder and gifts of their ongoing vision - a vintage-rustic, artisanal oasis that nourishes the mind, body, and soul. Surrounded by the majestic redwood-covered mountains and the soothing sounds of the ever-flowing Howard Creek, this is a rare and wonderful find for those who crave fresh air, tranquility, and a deep connection with nature.

Handcrafted Accommodations: Cabins, Rooms, and a Suite

The property boasts 13 unique, one-of-a-kind accommodations, each meticulously hand-crafted by Sonny. Choose from 5 charming cabins nestled among the trees, by the creek, or perched above the ocean, or opt for 7 cozy rooms in the original Carriage Barn and Farmhouse. For a truly indulgent experience, book the two-level suite.

Each accommodation features reclaimed redwood, vintage tiles, beautiful antique details, comfortable beds, handmade quilts, and private bathrooms with kitchenettes. Breakfast is included, and you'll have access to a private path leading directly to the beach, as well as trails to the old-growth redwoods.

Immerse Yourself in Nature and Local Culture

Howard Creek Ranch is situated in the heart of the iconic "Lost Coast" region, just south of Westport and a short drive from Fort Bragg and Mendocino. This means you have endless opportunities to explore the local shops, restaurants, and charming boutiques, as well as the pristine natural surroundings.

On the property itself, you can wander the gardens, solarium, and library, or embark on a loop trail that leads to an enchanted redwood forest. The ever-flowing Howard Creek, with its sacred waters, is a true highlight, serving as the lifeblood of this special place.

A Legacy of Adventure and Stewardship

The Howard Creek Ranch has a rich history dating back to 1867, when the adventurous Howard family arrived on horseback from Maine and built a self-sustaining homestead in this remarkable valley. The Carriage Barn and Farmhouse still stand as reminders of this pioneering past, inviting you to be a part of the ongoing 157-year-old story.
